once again i was chosen as one of amabie sweethearts and they sent me a couple of products for me to try and review them for free. but let me remind you that even though i got the products for free, all my reviews are completely honest.
this is one of the products that they sent to me. actually this is nothing new. i've seen this facial wash around in the supermarket nearby my home, and i always wanted to look at it, but buying groceries with two very active toddlers and a baby is never a good idea, so i never got the chance to see it clearly. and now they sent it to me, so i'm glad that i finally get the chance to try it.
this is the description from their website: specially formulated to give you clear, problem free skin, a soap-free, daily use wash gel that cleanses your skin by removing excess oil and impurities without over-drying. neem, well known for its purifying and antibacterial properties, kills problem-causing bacteria. combined with turmeric, it helps control acne and pimples leaving your skin soft, clear, refreshed and problem-free. key ingredients: neem, turmeric.
the packaging: it comes in a plastic tube with a flip top. the tube is clear and even though there's a label on it, you still can see the green facial wash inside. no seal on the opening of the bottle when i received it. i don't know if that's the condition from the factory or that's happened only to mine after it being checked by customs.
the scent: i was afraid that this one will smell funny since it has neem and turmeric. i was thinking that it might smell like spices.. food spices. but i was wrong. it smells like antiseptic soap, not like dettol, but still like antiseptic. not too strong either so it doesn't bother me. plus once it lathers up, i can't smell the scent anymore.
the product: the facial wash is a green gel. pretty plain. and it bubbles enough. now, i'm sorry that i don't have any pH strip, so i can't tell you the pH of this facial wash. i think it will be important since this facial wash claims to prevent acnes. so if you have any information regarding its pH, please let me know. and if you're avoiding SLS, this facial wash also doesn't contain SLS, parabens and phthalates.
the result: it cleanses okay, i don't think it can remove makeup, but it will help clean makeup residue. i can feel that this one doesn't strip my skin. i don't feel the squeaky clean feeling which is good and i like it. since i have time limit to review this facial wash, i only have 2 weeks to use it, and during that time, i do get breakouts from using peter roth irish black moor mask, but it clears up after 3 days. and my second time using the mask, i didn't get any breakouts again.
i think this facial wash is gentle enough. it doesn't strip my skin and it cleanses well. i'm not bothered by the scent, however some might not like it since it smells weird. it doesn't have SLS, parabens and phthalates. and i can't say anything for sure about the prevention of pimples, since i do experience breakouts from using detox mask. but it help speeding up the clearing process. and i don't experience any other pimples due to other factors, so i think it might help in some way. another good reason for buying this: it's cheap. really cheap. i do recommend those who have sensitive skin to try this, although every skin type can try it too. but not for those sensitive nose.. as for me, definitely will put this one on my facial wash rotation. i'm glad that it's available here in indonesia and with such price! thank you amabie for giving me the opportunity to try this facial wash.
update: if you guys have read my post about pure smile silk mask, then you might read a little information about hyaluronic acid provided by hannah from thankyourskin. now hannah is kind enough to write another guest post regarding turmeric, one of the main ingredients found in this face wash.
One trick you can use to make sure you don’t end up with a yellow skin is to rinse it off thoroughly and use a warm cloth to wipe your skin. Do that until there are no more yellow residues.

Applying turmeric on your skin might not seem like the best idea but if you are dealing with acne spots, blemishes and other skin issues, it might just be the solution you are looking for. You see, turmeric has antibacterial properties which make it effective against acne. It also possesses anti-inflammatory properties which can help soothe psoriasis as well as eczema. Surprisingly, turmeric has powerful antioxidants, too. It can help protect your skin against skin cancer and premature skin aging.
A word of caution:
Although turmeric offers tons of benefits even for sensitive skin, you shouldn’t use it without testing it first. Actually, you should do a sensitivity patch test for every skincare product you’re going to use on your skin. You should also be cautious when using turmeric as it can stain everything- from your sink, towels and even your skin.One trick you can use to make sure you don’t end up with a yellow skin is to rinse it off thoroughly and use a warm cloth to wipe your skin. Do that until there are no more yellow residues. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, check out this really handy infographic here on the surprising benefits of turmeric for the skin.
